I'm not a fan of this restriction but i can live with this, since i can play on premium servers too. However i would allow callvote map option for empty servers, just because: when i want to play a quick (public) game and find out there is only empty servers of the game mode what i want to play and each server has a map that no one plays, means not many players will join the server, so basically what i need to do is just wait for the map change before joining. So why not allow the player to change the map while there is no one else on the server?

You'd then have people going around to every server changing it to a "bad map" to ruin the game.
Alternatively, you'd have people making the same map in different servers, and then the people would hop around to continue playing the same map.

So they have made a profit; Good news and no worrying then? Hopefully for everyone this system does work then, that it proves reliable. And people for sure will re-subscribe after there years worth of subscription, (I assume a year is the most popular option to pay for because of value).

Meanwhile this forum is saturated with complaints from paying customers who hate map rotation and the obvious reduction in people playing the game...

saturated = at most 20 premium/pro users, out of more than 100,000 players according to qlranks. You are not the one to complain though as you are a standard user, and since you are a tier1/tier2 almost exclusively ca player there are lots of servers to choose from at your location (right now 15 tier3/tier4 in the US, weekday and not peak hour).

Actually qlranks creator a couple days ago confirmed on esr their duel tracking graph wasn't working correctly for months, so all that silly 4k to 1k out of nowhere speculation is dismissed (before it showed it was stable 4k the entire week then 1k for the whole next one, and repeat all over again for months).
He also posted the daily amounts of duels, the mod that was hit the hardest map-wise, only decreased by 20%. That's a fair price to pay considering the game can still be up and that people now play more things than ztn on standard servers.

edit: and anyway it's already solved (#595). No point in continuing this thread with a petition as silly as asking french fries and vodka to be free.

Well, that happens already. When a "bad map" is loaded, many of the players will disconnect at once. The only difference is that the disconnected players remain disconnected...
